Hello. New grad in maternity here. I'm trying to find an article with information if it's appropriate for a patient to be AROM'd at -1 station?

As long as the fetus is not ballotable, it should be fine. I don't know that you'll find any literature about it.

I was a bit confused by the question (wondering what it has to do with residents), but is there something I can help you with in regards to my answer?
